Trigger
Trigger
Discover the trigger providers that can start a workflow — webhook, cron, and poll.
Triggers are what start a workflow. There are three kinds:
-
webhook — a manual or HTTP POST trigger. Built in; every workflow can use it.
-
cron — a scheduled trigger using cron syntax. Built in.
-
poll — periodic checks on an external source (Gmail, Reddit, RSS, Sheets, Stripe, ...).
-
geni trigger list— list and search trigger providers.
Declare a trigger in workflow.json. Poll triggers carry a copyable triggerId; webhook and cron take none. After declaring a poll trigger, wire its credential and inputs with geni resource config set and preview its payload with geni workflow trigger-sample.
